Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich is currently the face of not one but two separate Danish ad campaigns for alcoholic beverages, according to Blabbermouth. In the first, he is one of six people chosen by Danish brewer Carlsberg to design a bottle for the company’s “Stand Out Collection.” Carlsberg created a six-minute marketing video with Ulrich in San Francisco which serves as an ad for the campaign.

Meanwhile, Ulrich was also recently selected by the producers of Gammel Dansk, another Danish alcoholic beverage, to star in a similar campaign, this one titled “Not Like The Others.” Ulrich appears in commercials for the product and will also serve on the jury for a contest where prizes will go to individuals or groups that “go against the flow.”

Ulrich said in a statement, “For me, Gammel Dansk is something very, very special . . . it is fantastic to be able to give a prize to people who are also unique in some way.”

The competition has a first prize of 100,000 Danish kroner — approximately $18,500 — and the winner will be celebrated at a party in November 2014.

Metallica is currently writing songs for its 10th studio album, although there is no set timeline to record or release the new disc.

Metallica debuted a new song called “The Lords Of Summer” on a recent South American tour. That tune or possibly another new one will be played on the band’s upcoming European summer festival run, on which the group will play all-request sets in addition to one new track.
